It sounds like heresy but I think it is time to consider adopting other names for Skeptics in the Pub groups.
EDIT: Some splendid alternative views are now available from Tannice Pendegrass and from the 21st Floor. Please have a read of them.
I love Skeptics in the Pub. I love organising Horsham SitP. I love it when audience-members tell me how much they enjoyed the evening and how it has affected the way they think about things. Many of these people express surprise; they weren't expecting something called "Skeptics in the Pub" to be so interesting, welcoming and generally pleasant.
My audience isn't what you might think of as an audience of skeptics. I suspect many of them are never called skeptics except when they are at SitP.
Outside of SitP and the Skeptoweb, I most often come across the word "skeptical" on the Today programme. Most of these occasions it make me wince. Your experience may differ from mine but I most often hear the word used to express doubt. Not just clean, scientific doubt either but a kind of belief position, an opinion – I believe your claim is doubtful. The word is, in my experience, used as a mealy-mouthed way of saying "I disagree. I don't believe you" rather than "I will suspend judgement until more evidence comes to light". Using the word "sceptical" sometimes makes it sound like they are being more open-minded than they really are. I don't think they're actually thinking about it that hard though.
(I also think the K / C thing matters only to skceptics, so that isn't what I'm interested in.)
I Was Wrong Though
You can imagine my disappointment then, when I did a bit of research only to find out that my perception was not that accurate. I was interested in finding out if there was a real problem in the difference between the intended meaning of the word and the listener's understanding of what was meant.
I carried out a little Facebook survey, boiling down what I thought were the most common uses of the word and asked this question:
Which of these options most closely describes what you think people usually mean when they say they are "Sceptical" about a particular idea? (This is about your perception of what other people mean – not what you think it means)
1. That they are opposed to it.
2. That they are willing to form a judgement based on evidence.
3. That they won't ever form a judgement as they may be unaware of vital evidence.
The results came out like this:
They are opposed to it: 12 votes
Will form a judgement based on evidence: 25 votes
Won't ever form a judgement: 6 votes
On the face of it, that is a resounding success for the preferred definition of us skeptics. 58% of those who responded gave us the answer that we would like them to give.
Obviously, this was not a fair sample of the population. I was able to see which way self-identified skeptics voted. Here are the results again, but this time with the number of people I knew to be skeptics:
They are opposed to it: 12 votes (3 known skeptics)
Willing to form a judgement based on evidence: 25 votes (8 known skeptics)
Won't ever form a judgement: 6 votes (0 known skeptics)
Skeptics think other people know what they mean when they say "skeptical"
What this tells me is this. Having being specifically asked a question which required skeptics to put themselves in the mind of "most people" and give the answer "most people" would give, the majority of skeptics chose the meaning that most matches their own definition.
It could be the case that the skeptics are right to think most people have the same working definition that they use. Or it could be that skeptics over-estimate the extent to which the word "sceptical" is understood. Indeed, the "right" answer (2) still wins by a long way if the known skeptics are removed from the pool.
Thanks to the magic of confirmatory bias, I am able to infer from these results that I was right all along. A significant number of ordinary people (non-skeptics, I mean) do not use the same working definition that we skeptics do.
The name "Skeptics in the Pub".
Does the phrase describe anything accurately? If I was to try to define from scratch what the Horsham SitP audience actually is so that an alien would know what I meant, would I say they are skeptics, in a pub? No. A few of them are skeptics, the rest are just people interested in hearing experts speak in their local pub.
Does the term refer to the speakers – is it the speakers that are the skeptics, in the pub? Sometimes.
So the name doesn't really describe the group or the event in any objective way. It sounds like a club for skeptics. Who wants to go to a club for skeptics? Not even skeptics, probably. A skeptical society could reasonably be called a club for skeptics, but skeptical societies and SitP are clearly not the same thing.
Why do we do it?
So, maybe the term "skeptics in the Pub" accurately describes what am I trying to do with my SitP group? Sort of. I am trying to promote critical thinking and all that flows from it including science, skepticism, scepticism and philosophy while also spreading the word about quacks, fakes, charlatans and religions and other cults. You know – all that stuff.
Who am I trying to reach with this message – is it confirmed skeptics? Not really, except so that we can unite and form a skeptical society.
My real interest, the reason I spend so much time (and money) on it is to reach out to those people who are unaware of skepticism. I want believers to feel welcomed in. While they are in my pub, they can't escape the critical thinking. I want people who haven't really thought about all this stuff to come along and find out that they like what the skeptics do and how we think and maybe they'll be inspired to act like skeptics more in future. I want those of us that already know this stuff to be spreading the word to those who believe the opposite or have just never thought about it at all, actively fighting our intellectual corner. Engagement. Face to face, engagement.
Does the name "Skeptics in the Pub" attract people who don't identify with the term for whatever reason? Hardly ever.
Like Jesus said:
They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick… for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Matthew 9:11-13
Get to the Point
My point is this. I believe that the word "Skeptic" is often a hindrance to the promotion of skepticism. I believe that when people see an advert for "Skeptics in the Pub" they often don't read it in the way we want them to (whether we like it or not).
I propose that SitP groups be free to choose their own names. Names that suit their particular corner of the country. That is all.
I believe that this can happen without interfering with what SitP is all about. The excellent support network (Simon Perry's website/email system) has the potential to support a larger presence than we currently have. We are absolutely blessed to have been provided with such a superb system for getting new groups going. Despite the reputation of atheists and skeptics, we are actually a highly organised group. We share one common goal and we work together remarkably well to make it all happen.
Which makes me wonder why so few people go to SitP. When we were keeping numbers a while ago, it emerged that each month there were a only few hundred people going to these things. For a group with no budget, that relies entirely on volunteers, we don't do badly at all. But those groups whom we are working against have gigantic budgets and armies of brainwashed volunteers slaving away on their behalf. I am referring of course to the cults, the religions, the anti-vaxxers and the rest. They can use the internet too, and right now, they are winning at it.
We are up against far better equipped forces and if we are to make greater progress then we must pull out all the stops. We can't afford to cling to things that hold us back, just on a point of flimsy principle. The word "Skeptic" holds us back. It gets in the way of promoting skepticism and scepticism. It gives people an excuse to ignore us.
I would still readily associate the Horsham group with SitP. There is no need to hide the "Skeptics in the pub" name. The network would still be the SitP network, and it would still be supporting pro-skepticism pub talks, but the talks needn't all bear that name.
I see pub talks as just one facet of skeptical activism. Just one weapon in our arsenal. SitP have proven that when it comes to supporting skeptical pub-talks, they are brilliant. But pub talks are not the whole story. I want more skeptical societies to get started, doing outreachy stuff as well as pub talks.
I have lots more to say, but I have already gone on too long.
In closing, we have nothing fear in allowing ourselves to adapt in ways that help us popularise the concept of skepticism. Even if it sometimes means letting go of that word.

Once again, the shelters at Maricopa County Animal Care and Control are overcrowded with cats and dogs who need new homes.
On Tuesday, the shelter received 155 new animals, 50 more than its average daily intake for September, causing the number of cats, dogs, kittens and puppies to spike to more than 500 that now are available for adoption, including four pit bull mix puppies (one female, three males) thrown out of a tow truck in the 5200 block of West McDowell Road in Phoenix on Sept. 1, the shelter announced on Wednesday.
The influx of animals triggered Animal Care and Control to launch its inaugural "Massive Paws" program this Wednesday, a special adoption event that will run through Sunday, Sept. 9.
All adoptable dogs and puppies are $17, with cats and kittens free. The adoption price will include spaying or neutering, age-appropriate vaccinations, and dog licenses for dogs 3 months or older. Microchips, heartworm tests, and FELV tests are also available at time of adoption for an additional fee.
"We're way overcrowded," said Audie Greybear, a Maricopa County Animal Care and Control spokesman. "This made us decide to start the program to see if we could find good homes for these animals."
The county shelter is receiving more than 100 animals a day, a large increase over the average of 90 to 100 animals it usually sees, Greybear said.
The spike in animal intake could be because pets usually are spooked by fireworks around July 4 and also by the thunderstorms brought on by the monsoon — and they run off, according to Greybear.
At least one county official suggested that now would be the time to adopt an animal that has had all of its medical and behavioral checkups.
"Now that kids have returned to school wouldn't it be nice to bring someone special into your home?" Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Max Wilson said in a statement issued by Maricopa County Animal Care and Control.
Adoptable pets are available seven days a week at two adoption centers — "Under One Woof" located inside the Metrocenter Mall in north central Phoenix, or at the MCACC's Petsmart Charities Adoption Center located inside the Scottsdale PetSmart, 4380 North Miller Road.
The center's two full-service shelters are open six days a week. The West Valley shelter is located at 2500 S. 27th Ave., Phoenix. The East Valley shelter is located at 2630 W. 8th St., Mesa.
For more information, call (602) 506–7387 or visit www.pets.maricopa.gov. Maricopa County Animal Care and Control also is on Twitter (@MCACCaz1 and @NoLostPetsMC) and has a Facebook page.

Tintin in the Congo not racist, court rules
Tintin in the Congo is published in the UK with a warning about its content
Continue reading the main story
Related Stories
A Belgian court has rejected an application to ban a controversial Tintin book over claims it breaches racism laws.
It said it did not believe the 1946 edition of Tintin in the Congo was intended to incite racial hatred.
Congolese campaigner Bienvenu Mbutu Mondondo launched legal proceedings in 2007 to get the book banned, saying its portrayal of Africans was racist.
Mr Mbutu's lawyer said he planned to appeal against the decision.
Written in the late 1920s, Tintin in the Congo was the second book Herge - real name Georges Remi - produced featuring his young reporter hero.
It was first serialised from 1930 to 31 and was then reissued in 1946.
The book tells of Tintin's escapades in the former Belgian colony and includes encounters with diamond smugglers, big game hunters and wild animals.
Tintin in the Congo has always attracted criticism, and Herge said later that he was not happy with the work.
The Belgian court said it was created at a time when colonial ideas were prevalent.
"It is clear that neither the story, nor the fact that it has been put on sale, has a goal to... create an intimidating, hostile, degrading or humiliating environment," the court said in its judgment.
Mr Mbutu's lawyer told Reuters his client would "take this case as far as he can".
UK editions of the book, published in English in 1991, are generally found beside more adult literature and inform readers the content could cause offence.

Haha twisted family!
Haha twisted family!
And is usually criminal.
Touch, Arouse Me, Kiss & More!My signature picture was designed for me by Reone.
I've always believed that Springer is much like professional wrestling or the National Enquirer. The majority of the content is staged and made-up.
Yeah, guarantee all of that is made up.
I don't know, maybe it's just the American way of life?
Yep,that's what we do alright,I don't know anyone who hasn't had sex with their Grandmother..
It' was America's best kept secret before these assholes got on Springer and ruined it for everyone..
Well, I'm off to Grandma's house for some "cookie"..Oops, I mean cookies..
Umm, I'm attracted to older guys, but I would never do that to my grandfather, that's messed up.
^^ I thought you liked Muffins
why are they all wearing blue shirts and cream coloured pants. thats fucked up.....
what a fashion disaster.
Ill fitting cream pants at that.
Disgustingly bad taste on all parts. I mean if that's what grandma looks like, one can only imagine what mother resembles.
The grandson is kind of cute. He could sleep with me and call me Daddy.
In the early days of this country, men hunted down grey beaver pelts and shipped them back to Europe.
Now we don't share them with outsiders anymore.
I kissed a cousin once.Incest is sick.
Ok, where are the guys waiting to say as long as they love each other and it's not hurting anyone what's the big deal? I know there's several of you out there.
^ nah, Cher was banned
SERIOUS Oedipus complexe? Way to ruin your family bond!
I think this is staged (I sincerely hope Jerry Springer shows are staged and it's all just a big act).
But if it's not, they are actually hurting others, the rest of the family, her/his daughter/mother, her/his other grandchildren/siblings.
We're talking incest here. Besides, is the guy still a minor? Then we're talking molestation.
Sick. Just like Cher's thread on fucking by his brother.
Wow thats nasty even if its fake thinking about that is nasty. I'm surprized cher haven't fuck his grandpa yet
gee, all I ever did was give my grandmother a peck on the cheek. Times they are a changing
Some Americans are really uninhibited!!
Jerry Springer seems to love exploiting the lowest behavior in all people. He seems to go out of his way to find these "on the fringe" people and put themn into the national spotlight.....
The Three Musketeers... Bashful, Chrisglass, and Ronboy!
Yes, so many people here think they have to approve of anything no matter how gross it is because they fear if they don't approve of it, they'll be an asshole. I wouldn't be suprised at all if someone here says "As long as he loves his grandma and his grandma loves him, they should be able to fuck all they want. Leave them alone, it's their life."
There's nothing quite like Jerry Spring to make you feel like maybe you're life isn't really so bad after all.
I don't know which is more disturbing, the grandma-grandson relationship or the freaking show that shows this for entertainment...

A new light is twinkling in the Heavens; a new angel has received her wings. Mary Hischier Reed of Billings passed away peacefully due to natural causes on Nov. 16. She had 85 precious years of life and 60 wonderful years of marriage.
Mary began her life's wonderful journey on Nov. 3, 1927, in Provo, Utah, the daughter of Fred and Pauline (French) Hischier. She lived in Montana most of her life, but she also resided with her family in Williston, N.D., and Bellevue, Wash. Although she adored Montana, she also loved to travel, and was fortunate to have visited Hawaii several times, Australia, New Zealand, China, England and Scotland.
She graduated from Billings Senior High in 1946. She then went on to attend Colorado Women's College, graduating in 1948. An avid learner, Mary continued her education at the University of Nebraska, where she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Business and Merchandising in 1950.
Mary utilized her educational skills to become an Assistant Manager at Aileen's Clothing in Billings, where she also became a frequent and favorite customer as well! She was an accomplished artist, and thoroughly enjoyed volunteering at the Castle Art Gallery, helping to showcase the work of other artists. She was also active working in the Billings Studio Theater, loved being a member of her P.E.O. society, and was especially fond of her bridge clubs! Another one of her passions was crossword puzzles, and she was true wizard at completing them. While raising a family of four children, Mary used her charisma and marketing training to establish a successful home-based business, distributing Shaklee products.
Mary is survived by her husband, Henry E. (Hank) Reed; her son John Reed of Billings and his son Jacob Morrow of Portland, Ore.; her daughter Polly Kovash (Bryan) and their children Mikayla, Kelly and Hunter of Billings; her son Jim Reed (Sue) and their children Rebecca, Nicole and Sean of Bellevue, Wash.; her daughter-in-law Margaret Reed and her son Blake of Bellevue; her sister Miriam Simpson (Jack) of Harlowton; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Mary was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Margaret Heath and her eldest son, Tom.
Special thanks, to mention a very few, go out to the doctors and staff at Billings Hospital, Rocky Mountain Hospice, Valley Healthcare, Kerri Henan, Judy Hamilton, Mary's dear sister Miriam, and precious niece and nephew Berte and Jim Heath!
The family will be receiving friends for visitation on Friday, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary. Funeral Services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 24, at Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary. Interment will follow at Yellowstone Valley Memorial Park. A reception will be held at the Yellowstone Country Club after the burial (at 3 p.m.).
Memorials may be made to P.E.O. Chapter AV, www.peointernational.org. Michelotti-Sawyers is assisting with arrangements and remembrances may be shared with the family by visiting www.michelottisawyers.com.

Jan 8, 2011 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"This was very good. Some changes I made were: instead of using cilantro because I'm not a fan, I used cream of celery, a packet of enchilada sauce and tomato sauce. Mixed that well with a spoonfull of sour cream, heated and then poured some in the enchiladas and over them. It gave it a really good taste. As for the tortillas, I didn't have much luck..."

Actually RAID1 is quite good for reading data: it minimizes seek time . Of course, it works fine as long as there are not many writes. For example think analytic databases, cubes, etc. Those are not written to in real time (like the more common transactional databases)

Setting up the network needed some tinkering, but after that it worked like a charm. Great piece of software ! I couldn't care less for the sound and 3D stuff as long as they don't break the core functionality

Adult Studio Art
SpiritSong Intuitive Painting Workshop with Elisa Wike Hurley
Enjoy the process of painting—quiet your mind and allow your heart and hand to explore. This painting process will help rekindle a sense of childlike wonder about paint and paper and play. We will use tempera paints as if we were children and see what emerges on the paper. This workshop is for you if you've considered painting but never thought you could, and it is also for trained artists who want to explore and expand.
Free Mask and Puppet Making Workshop for Adults
The Farnsworth Museum will be offering a free mask and puppet building workshop for adults taught by Shoestring Theater, Maine's longest running community puppet theater. Artistic Director Nance Parker will be leading participants through the process of creating, designing and building their own personal mask. Participants will be expected to use their wildest ideas about creatures and myths when designing their work. Work will be executed sculpting clay, paper-mache and wire. We will also be adding our own hand sewn costumes to create creatures both magical and scary. And as a group, we will also build a large parading puppet. These will be part of the Fall Family Festival Parade, taking place at the Farnsworth sculpture garden at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 19. To sign up, please call 207-596-6457 x146.
Studio Night: DIY Xmas Ornaments with The Collective
Join us for an evening of creative ornament-making. Materials will be available, as well as a few sample ideas for suggested approaches. Feel free to bring in any items and materials from home that you'd like to incorporate if so inspired. Get ready to jazz up your Christmas tree or make a few ornaments to give as gifts during the holiday season
Studio Night: Open Studio with The Collective
Dabble and explore with new materials not always found in your home studio. Various materials will be available for experimentation—watercolors, tempera paints, assemblage materials, glue guns, charcoal, various papers, etc. Poke around the Gamble Center's supply room and see what strikes your fancy. Don't be afraid to play and let go of outcomes!
Studio Night: Silverpoint Drawing with Alexis Iammarino
This studio exploration invites participants of all levels and creative inclinations to learn and/or explore this unique drawing practice. Silverpoint is a traditional drawing technique still used today that was first used by Medieval scribes then by artists of the 14th century and through the ages. It is one of several types of metalpoint techniques where a drawing is made by dragging and etching a metal styli on a prepared surface.
Studio Night: Alternative Drawing Techniques with Mark Kelly
In this introductory drawing class, the group will do a few quick drawing exercises to loosen up, and then work on some object/still life drawing. Participants should bring an object they love, so that you have some connection to your subject. Together, the class will discuss the difference between looking and seeing, which is key to drawing (or any art making, really). Instructor Mark Kelly will show some examples of different types of drawing through history.
Introduction to Animation
In this 3-week intensive introduction to animation for adults, participants will learn the basics of three animation techniques: charcoal animation, Claymation, and pixilation—and choose one technique to create their own short film. The course will be co-taught by Annie Bailey and Trelawney O'Brien and is open to 6 participants.
The Wednesday night classes will be devoted to demonstrating techniques, covering the history of animation, and discussing key concepts. Within each of the animation formats, the class will discuss ways to create mood, create scenes, and how to develop character.
Studio Night: Sculptural Paper Vessels with Trelawney O'Brien
This class will offer simple and easy artistic techniques to create one-of-a-kind pieces and provide various paper products to use, including handmade paper and various recycled materials. Learn the steps on how to make a sculptural vessel that you can use in the home or give as a gift.
Dumpster Diving: Poetry Writing Workshop with Kathleen Ellis
"A poet writes the history of his [her] body."—Henry David Thoreau,
The Journal
Led by poet Kathleen Ellis, this workshop will explore the connections between poetry and art, using the museum's current exhibitions and practicing acts of cultural dumpster-diving (both literally and figuratively) to trigger our creative juices. We will generate new poems that challenge who we are in our historical, cultural, and natural environments, using real-world references to address the paradoxical inevitability of modern life. There will be experimentation with a wide range of poetic forms, visits to exhibits (different from the Aug. 5-9 workshop), daily group critique, and revision sessions.
Punch Needle Rug Hooking Workshop with Holly Berry
Punch needle rug hooking, also called "New England Style," is easy to learn and fun to do. Create an 8" x 8" square or circular wool hooked project (a mat or pillow top) of your own design. With a punch needle threaded with yarn, the rug is worked from the back to form the loops, instead of from the front, as in traditional rug hooking.
Simple, graphic designs work best for this method. Time will be spent introducing and practicing technique, creating a design (perhaps inspired by the museum collection), choosing colors of available 100% wool rug yarn, hooking, and finishing off the project. Participants will have use of Oxford punch needles, hoops and frames during class time as well as all necessary supplies and equipment to complete their project.
